Bchito [bee-chee-to]

Do you keep forgetting things everytime you change your purse?
Now there's an easy way to remember everything you need to bring with you. It's called Bchito. 

Bchito is small and can be used with any purse.  It's also available in different presentations to combine it with your outfit...and you'll remember everything! It will help you remind the basics you need to bring with you on certain moments; work, an interview, a date, a gathering with friends, grocery shopping....

But wait!  There's more.  Bchito is also handy outside of your purse in those moments when you can't find what your looking for.  Just place it outside of your purse and it will help you identify the items you need and seems impossible to find in your home.

Bitlash - Arduino command line shell

Learning to code an Arduino can be pretty confusing as most calculations will occur 'behind the scenes' of a sketch. Bitlash could help provide some quick answers for testing/learning -

Balancing Robot

This was pretty interesting for me, and maybe some of you would like to build one!
Enjoy.
